What is Female Urology?
Female urology is a specialist area of urology focusing on conditions affecting the bladder, urethra and urinary system in women.
Many women experience urinary symptoms that can affect work, family life, exercise and confidence. Although these problems are common, they are not simply a normal part of ageing or something you have to live with.
Our consultants offer comprehensive assessment and personalised treatment plans to improve symptoms and quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
We diagnose and treat a wide range of female urological conditions, including:
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Overactive bladder (OAB)
- Urinary urgency and frequency
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Urge urinary incontinence
- Mixed urinary incontinence
- Bladder pain syndrome (interstitial cystitis)
- Difficulty emptying the bladder
- Voiding dysfunction
- Neuro-urology
- Microscopic and visible blood in the urine (haematuria)
- Recurrent cystitis
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- General female urological conditions
Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore
You may benefit from seeing a female urologist if you experience:
- Frequent urinary tract infections
- A sudden urge to pass urine
- Passing urine more often than normal
- Leakage when coughing, sneezing or exercising
- Difficulty emptying your bladder
- Pain or burning when passing urine
- Bladder pain or pelvic discomfort
- Waking several times during the night to pass urine
- Blood in your urine
- Persistent bladder symptoms despite previous treatment
Many women delay seeking advice because they feel embarrassed or assume their symptoms are a normal part of life. In many cases, effective treatment is available.
Your Consultation
During your appointment, your consultant will discuss your symptoms, medical history and any previous treatments before carrying out an assessment.
Where appropriate, investigations may include:
- Urine testing
- Blood tests
- Ultrasound scanning
- Flexible cystoscopy
- Urodynamic testing
- CT or MRI imaging where indicated
Not every patient will require further investigations. Your treatment plan will always be tailored to your individual needs.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms and may include:
- Lifestyle and bladder training advice
- Fluid management
- Pelvic floor rehabilitation
- Medication
- Treatment and prevention of recurrent UTIs
- Botox treatment for overactive bladder
- Bladder instillation therapy
- Minimally invasive procedures
- Surgery where appropriate
Our consultants always aim to recommend the least invasive treatment likely to provide the best long-term outcome.
